Soft Focus: People Skills Matter

When making a match, we always try to match both ‘hard skills’ such as number of years of experience, specific certifications, degrees, etc. as well as the all important ‘soft skills’ that are often times overlooked when hiring someone for a particular role. There are distinct characteristics and intrinsic motivators that will predisposition a person to either excel or fail in certain environments, and it is imperative when looking to make a long term match to consider both of these facets when evaluating potential candidates.
